the last king of darkness

Chapter 198 The King Wants to See You
The investigation team is composed of the War Department, the Internal Affairs Tribunal and the Wangcheng Tribunal, mainly to find out everything that happened after Theodore fought the giant snake in Leso City.

From Wangcheng's perspective, its process is very vague, and Theodore lost track after the big snake was repelled.

But when he came back into sight again, it was Rhodes who had obtained the soul ripple.

I don't see people alive or dead.

What happened during this period, and whether Theodore confessed anything, is what the investigation team is eager to know.

In view of Rhodes' performance in this battle, the investigation team respectfully chose the villa where he stayed.

The leader was a fat man with a round face named Zhang Bo, who was the second chief of defense of the War Department.

He smiled very kindly and spoke politely. He never interrupted Rhodes' statement, and he was very careful in asking questions, trying to reduce the suspicion in them.

It's just that Zhang Bai couldn't control it because the process was too bizarre.

For example, why did he leave the lighthouse and act independently instead of waiting for rescue or returning to the troops?

For example, Master Theodore was seriously injured and corrupted, so how could he suddenly get better?

After getting better, why didn't he reply to Wang Cheng, but took him to act alone?How did they discover another entrance to the abyss?Why not call for assistance, and so on and so forth.

Rhodes is really difficult to explain.

He can't reveal anything about the dream.

Especially the "Tears of the Goddess" that cures the poison of the serpent.

This is a dream creation with miraculous effects. There is no such medicine in the royal city.

Theodore woke up from the coma after taking it, cleared the nearby threats, entered the abyss rift he accidentally discovered, and after killing the abyss troll, he discovered the spatial kink connected to the serpent abyss.

When he tried to kill the big snake again, he failed, and only then did the following things happen.

And Rhodes was most worried about killing Theodore, but no one questioned it.

The higher-ups are very clear about Theodore's soul being deeply corrupted.

His life has been barely maintained, if not for this critical battle, he would not have been dispatched at all.

It is reasonable to say that Theodore gave him most of the soul ripples when he was dying, and then he could not bear the consumption of the spell and died.

After that, everything is fine.

Rhodes tried his best to fill in the previous loopholes.

If it can't be made up, it will be pushed to "the great Theodore" and "magic spell".

This method had achieved miraculous results, and most of the investigation team accepted his statement.

Except for one person.

Grand Inquisitor Manolo Bana.

This extremely disgusting guy was reported by Raistlin and others because he was suspected of being involved with doomsday cultists.

But he survived the investigation and was reinstated. For unknown reasons, he was selected into the investigation team.

He was exactly the same as before, picking on Rhodes, implying that Rhodes was a doomsday cultist inside and out, and that he murdered Theodore and defrauded Theodore's soul ripple to seek merit for himself.

Rhodes couldn't believe it, why would there be such a stupid person?

If you are a doomsday believer, aren't you afraid of being exposed if you dance like this?If you're not a Doomsday Christian, what are you for?For your master Jon?
But Jon has thrown an olive branch at me, why are you still biting me like a dog?
What's worse, this kind of person hasn't fallen yet.

Fortunately, his opinion was not adopted by Zhang Bai.

Zhang Bai believed Rhodes' words, and prepared to write it into the dossier as the most important branch of the entire battle, and finally sealed it in Trorian's Museum of Literature and History, becoming a part of human history.

In the end, the questioning was completed without any risk, and the merits were discussed afterwards.

Rhodes undoubtedly played an extremely important role, enough to be called a "hero" title.

The only point of contention is whether the merits made in Theodore's possessed state should be credited to Rhodes or to the late Theodore.

If it is counted to Rhodes, how much should it be counted?
In this regard, Manolo Bana raised sharp objections.

"If the deeds of a true hero could be stolen by thieves, it would be the greatest stain in Trorian history."

"He didn't do anything. He just happened to appear there. Anyone who appears there will have the same result. He has no merits. Instead, he should be held accountable for using Lord Theodore's soul ripples to maliciously harass female soldiers."

This sounds reasonable, but it is not the case at all.

It's just that Rhodes couldn't tell this fact.

But this achievement is very important to him.

Rhode's face turned cold, and he said in a cold voice: "Master Manolobana, I don't know what kind of mentality you are saying, but in your mouth, I seem to be on an outing in the wild in spring. Just happened to come across all this at the time, and picked up such a big deal for nothing, didn't you?"

Manolo Bana asked coldly, "Isn't it?"

Rhodes sneered: "Your hatred for me is incomprehensible. Could it be that I also met your naked wife during an outing like this?"

boom!
The invisible impact exploded in front of Rhodes' eyes, and was blocked by the invisible wall.

Zhang Bai looked at the livid Manolo Bana with warning eyes.

"Master Gula, pay attention to your identity, your questioning has exceeded the necessary limit."

Rhode sneered, "According to your understanding, can this be understood as what I said hit your pain point, and you want to kill people in anger? Or are you a doomsday believer, trying to murder the hope of mankind?"

Zhang Bai glanced at Rhodes with the same warning eyes: "Shut up, don't provoke any more trouble!"

Manolo Bana's face was as green as iron, he got up and walked away, leaving only one sentence.

"No matter what he says, I am firmly opposed to including him as a first-class meritorious service. This person is a cancer of mankind, and he will eventually destroy us."

Rhodes replied flatly: "If there is such a day, I will kill your whole family first."

Manolo Bana didn't answer, but walked away quickly.

Zhang Bo scolded: "Rod, how can you talk like that? If you don't have so many achievements, you will be investigated for just this sentence, you know?"

Rhode said dissatisfiedly: "Master Zhang Bo, this guy is already unreasonable. You don't know, he targeted me from the very beginning, as if I killed his whole family..."

"Shut up!" Zhang Bo reprimanded: "He is the chief adjudicator after all, you must have basic respect!"

"In addition, I have received a report from Grand Leader Xilin that you have indeed behaved excessively. The Disciplinary Committee has decided to fine you a hundred silver cords and punish you by cleaning the sewers for one day."

Rhode's face immediately fell down: "Isn't it unreasonable for you to ask a soldier who returned from a bloody battle to clean up the sewer? Can't you let her touch it back?"

Zhang Bai patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly:

"It doesn't matter if you suffer a little bit, and we also know that you are good at cleaning sewers, and the 'Big Eagle' hunter of the hunter group is known as the king of sewers in the north and south, and Xilin is the most beautiful woman in Jinworth's 13th session. How many people want to touch it but don't have this blessing..."

His words were interrupted by a series of coughing sounds, and they all became perverts.

Rhodes's mind was originally full of grand plans related to the ancient gods, but he returned to the sewer all of a sudden, which was somewhat unacceptable.

What upset him the most was that a king of the north and south sewers would appear at some point.

Is there anyone still fighting over this thing?

Isn't "Big Eagle" my hunter title?You don't even know?

It's funny that I'm juxtaposed with myself... Rhode didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment.

Afterwards, they discussed some details briefly, and the atmosphere relaxed after Manolo Bana left.

In the end, Zhang Bo promised to try his best to get the best interests for him, and advised him to choose a partner as soon as possible. If he has no one, Wang Cheng can provide it.

And this kind of thing?

Wang Cheng is also in charge of sending out his wife?Can you send Miss Qingyu to me?

Of course, he wisely didn't mention it, because mentioning it would only send him to Qingyu, becoming one of her 130 two husbands.

This is definitely impossible, if you can't get married, forget it, Rhodes has no interest in the prairie.

But the matter did not end, Zhang Bai told him before leaving:

"The king wants to see you."
